The Power and Limitations of Numerology
Numerology is an art thousands of years in the making. Like any Metaphysical science, it hinges on the understanding that all things are interconnected. Your numerology profile analyzes the connection between the letters and numbers linked to you, revealing your talents, strengths, weaknesses, emotions, preferences, and a range of other qualities.
To use an analogy, think of numerology's nine single-digit numbers as nine tubes of paint, each a distinctly different color. Imagine you are a work of art painted by a master artist who used every color available to create your image. The depiction is unique and complex: a fusion of bright and subdued colors, shapes and shadows, light and reflection, subtle and bold textures. The deeper you look, the more you perceive and appreciate the many layers that makeup who you are.
A comprehensive numerology profile, along with your honest reflection, can be a powerful self-help tool in identifying underlying traits and new possibilities. The better you know yourself, the more control you have over life's changes and the greater your potential for a successful, fulfilled life. Numerology is not infallible, nor does it promise to answer every question, but I feel confident you will find many things to contemplate in the following pages.
You are unique, and so is your Profile. We hope you enjoy your reading.
Your Personality Profile
Your Profile begins with insight gleaned from your name because that is where we learn WHO you are. It describes the talents, strengths, and other distinct characteristics you were born with. Just as your physical body grows and changes with time, so does your personality. Your personal evolution begins at the moment of your birth. From that point on, the choices you make, the goals you set, your environment, opportunities, challenges, the influence of others, and a thousand other factors alter who you become.
Your Personality Profile begins with an overview of the combined influence of the core numbers derived from your name: your Expression, Heart's Desire, and Personality. This has never been done before.
I hope you will take time to read and reflect on the information below. Many aspects become clearer with time and during subsequent readings. I wish you the best on your journey.

PART I: About You
Your Personality Profile is based on your full name at birth, your current name, and your date of birth. Your full name tells us who you are; think of it as your numerology-DNA. Your date of birth reveals your path and the patterns of your personal growth.
We start this report by looking at the most important numbers derived from your full name to throw light on who you are as a person.
HOW YOUR NAME NUMBERS STACK UP
Jane, we begin by taking a quick snapshot, a look at the influence and meaning of the three core numbers derived from your name. Your Expression number is the sum of the value of all the letters in your full name at birth. Your Heart's Desire is the sum of the vowels. Your Personality number is the sum of the consonants. These three numbers are closely linked and influence one another.
All the numbers derived from your name reflect YOU. They are a blueprint of your talents, shortcomings, character traits, and other qualities. You should realize that this is a limited perspective. Later chapters focus on the challenges and opportunities you will encounter on your path, and attributes you may acquire as time passes.
This first chapter is like a glance from a distance, followed by three chapters that explain the meaning of each number in more detail. We will gradually build a more complete picture of the complex and unique individual you are.
Your Core Name Numbers are 9, 6, 3
Jane, all numbers divisible by 3 are considered creative. You have a 9 Expression, 6 Heart's Desire, and 3 Personality as your core name numbers. This indicates you have considerable creative ability. The challenge lies in all three numbers being weighted on the creative, idealistic side, leaving a lack of pragmatic, focused numbers.
You probably have a very active imagination that feeds your creativity. You could be a writer, musician, or poet (the 3); a visual artist (the 6); or more likely a creative designer who works combining color and materials. Architects, photographers, fashion and graphic designers often have a 9 prominent in their chart.
Your Expression number describes your talents, abilities, and shortcomings, especially as they relate to your career and productive life. A 9 in this position favors creative endeavors.
The 9 also gives insight into the human psyche. It is idealistic and adjusts easily to unusual environments. Careers that fit these traits are found in law, politics, teaching, and healing. A profession that offers opportunities to satisfy your idealistic side would fit well.
Your 6 Heart's Desire lends additional traits to your make up.
The Heart's Desire reflects what you like and dislike and determines what makes you truly happy. The 6 is the most loving of all numbers. It is caring, nurturing and devoted to family and friends. Your 6 Heart's Desire and 9 Expression will both inspire you help others. They will be a great comfort to your family and friends (your 6) as well as the global community (your 9). This tells us that regardless of the career you choose, your true contentment will come from helping others. Your 6 would do well in education, law, or medicine.
A word of caution if you chose a career in the arts, as this combination often produces one of two extremes. One scenario includes becoming extremely successful at an early age - the other is known to produce the proverbial starving artist. There isn't usually a middle road. A lack of success could stem, partly, from missing traits (such as self-promotion) that are necessary to become successful as an artist. You are likely an excellent conversationalist, but tooting your own horn is probably not your forte. If you choose an artist's life, you may want to team up with someone who will help promote you and your work.
Regardless of your career choice, you should have no problem being recognized as an innovative thinker who discovers unique solutions. Your creativity will be present, even if you do not express it in a traditional artistic field.
Your Personality number is the part of you others notice when you first meet. It is the "outer" you rather than the deeper "inner" reflection of your Heart's Desire. The 3 is optimistic, jovial, expressive, inspiring, and usually has a great sense of humor. The negative side can lack conviction and be a little superficial. Your 3 Personality is a good balance to your serious 9; it will serve you well socially.
Your 6 Heart's Desire also works well with your 3 Personality. The 6 is warm, responsible, loyal and protective. It provides the emotional depth that is sometimes lacking in the 3. However, the 6 is sometimes gullible and can become depressed easily.
You have a strong romantic side and others are attracted to your charisma. However, you may be more vulnerable emotionally than most people. Guard against being taken advantage of and be wary of unrealistic expectations from your romantic partner. You may need to watch for the pitfalls of self-pity and melodrama.
Now let's look at each of your core numbers individually.
THE EXPRESSION
Your Expression number, calculated from your full name at birth, reveals the orientation or goal of your life. Some numerologists refer to this as your Destiny number because it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. Thus, the Expression number, to some extent, reveals the person you aim to be.
Your Expression is the most influential of the three characteristics that make up who you are. It is also the number with the most influence on your choice of career, although other aspects are important as well.
Your Expression is 9
You are the humanitarian. You are attracted to a cause or a movement whose purpose is to make a better world. You are extremely idealistic, sometimes to the point of being naive about people or methods. You have great compassion and seek to create a more humane society. You are drawn to those who suffer physically or are at the hand of injustice. You are the righter of wrongs. Your deepest intention is to transform the world. You are willing to sacrifice in order to advance your cause. Indeed, this seems to be a theme in your life. From time to time, you find yourself involved in a project whose very life depends upon your willingness to sacrifice something that relates directly to your ego.
You are highly idealistic. You are also a visionary, with the ability to influence and direct the masses. Deep inside, you long for the love and approval of the many and seek fame. Part of your hunger for fame has to do with your need for validation; you are your own harshest critic.
You realize your greatest satisfaction when you are involved in some activity that directly benefits the public good. Politics, law, protection of the environment, teaching, and healing are areas in which you would succeed.
You have a broad view of humanity and are not shackled with prejudice. You should have friends and associates from all walks of life, all colors and religious backgrounds. People fascinate and enrich you. A wide diversity of people and experiences stimulate and bring forth qualities within you that would otherwise lay dormant. You have an abundance of artistic talent. Many with your Expression number find themselves in the arts, especially in literature, painting, and the visual and performing arts.
The number 9 indicates the completion of a cycle or a block of learning. The 9 Expression suggests that you have reached the point where a breakthrough can occur; during this lifetime you can apply all that you have learned along your evolutionary path and complete a major stage in your development. This is why we find many geniuses with the 9 Expression. You have the ability to synthesize many diverse bits of knowledge into a unified whole.
Your appearance is important. You are keenly aware of how others perceive you. As a result, others see you as a person with a great deal of control. Conversely, you are charismatic. Despite the cool and distant personality, you project, people are attracted to you.
You tend to express your love somewhat impersonally. You tend to be preoccupied with your vision or cause, and sometimes overlook the needs of those closest to you. You need to be reminded to give your love more personally and more openly. Ironically, you are a very loving and sincere person, but often neglect to express what you truly feel. In the same way, you can overlook your own needs. You can avoid sharing of your deeper feelings, creating a reservoir of emotion. You tend to postpone your personal satisfaction in favor of some larger work. Try to be more spontaneous and courageous about showing your real self, including your vulnerability.
Your basic belief in the goodness of humanity is unshakable. This causes you to encourage the best in people, but occasionally makes you vulnerable to being taken advantage of. You are not a very good judge of character.
The surest way to personal satisfaction is for you to become part of some larger social cause. Your nature is to serve. You are happiest when you feel you are helping to advance the human race.
THE HEART'S DESIRE (A.K.A. SOUL URGE)
The Expression number described above points to a more productive side of your life. Your Heart's Desire, also called Soul Urge number, reflects a deeper, inner you; it suggests an underlying urge, your true motivation, and the general intention behind many of your actions. It reveals the environment and lifestyle you prefer, as well as your likes, dislikes, and the type of people you are drawn to. Consequently, it dramatically influences the choices you make in life.
It makes sense that the vowels of your name are the foundation for your Heart's Desire. Vowels are the peaks and valleys of a language. Notice how vowels leave your mouth in a free-flowing breath. Try it: Aaaa.... Eeee.... Oooo.. Consonants though, are cut off either at the beginning or in the end.
You might say that it is in the flow of your breath that you express your deeper self.
Your Heart's Desire number is 15/6
Your attention is directed to helping and caring for those you love. You are exceedingly domestic. You love your home and family and work hard to make both comfortable and secure. Your love for family and friends is a major source of your happiness and sometimes unhappiness. Your desire to help others is so strong that you often find yourself sacrificing your own personal needs for someone else's. You can overdo it, becoming too deeply involved in other people's lives. You risk interfering in personal matters and or smothering those you love in too much affection. This can be especially weakening to children, who never experience their own personal strength if an adult is too protective.
You are extremely loyal and rarely let anyone down. You need to feel appreciation for your giving and caring. You want to know that you are needed. You are generous and very forgiving. You are somehow able to overlook the worst mistakes in another and find enough good in that person to continue the relationship. You are patient, warm, and sympathetic, sometimes to the point of sentimentality.
You have a natural ability as a counselor and healer. You are an excellent listener, compassionate and understanding. You can both sympathize and empathize with a person's dilemma. Your challenge as a counselor is to be adequately educated so that you can do more than provide a sympathetic ear or shoulder.
You possess a great deal of artistic talent, though you may not have a lot of confidence in your ability. Art gives you a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction. You are especially sensitive to your environment and have a knack for creating an artistic, healing, and harmonious atmosphere in your home or work space.
Your deepest intention is to love those around you and be loved in return. Six is the most loving of all numbers, especially in one-to-one relationships. Your instincts are toward your family and friends. You envision a beautiful and harmonious life with love as the basis for all social interaction. Your love is returned manifold; people appreciate you and the love you give and are willing to go to great lengths to keep you close at hand.
THE PERSONALITY
The consonants of your full name at birth are the foundation of your Personality number, which is a little like a narrow entrance hall to the great room that is your true nature. It's the outer layer of your personality, the part you feel comfortable sharing. With time and trust, you invite others into the deeper aspects of your nature.
Your Personality number serves as a censoring device in terms of what you send out, as well as whom and what you allow to approach. For this reason, your Personality is usually narrower and more protective in its definition than the real you. It also gives an indication of how others perceive you.
Your Personality number is 12/3
Many men with a 3 Personality are usually handsome; women often strikingly beautiful. Your vibration is full of life. You are uplifting, inspiring, and charming. You are a fun person to be around. Your wit and sparkling personality make you the life of a party. You are extroverted and optimistic. You appreciate fine clothing and jewelry and enjoy dressing up a bit. You like glamour and are sought after by the opposite sex. You are a romantic. You fall in and out of love rather quickly. You are affectionate and giving.
Do not let your charm be an incentive to play too much. Work at developing deep and lasting relationships. You have to avoid scattering your attention for popularity. You can be flippant about commitments and may dramatize or exaggerate. Your wit can cause you to rely too much on superficial, humorous conversation.
You have a distinct "lucky streak" that attracts many opportunities throughout your life. You also have a knack of promoting yourself as well as inspiring others. When backed up by hard work and self-disciple, these qualities almost ensure your success.
THE HEART'S DESIRE - PERSONALITY BRIDGE
A Bridge number is based on the numerical difference between two closely related aspects in your chart. It is the gap you need to "bridge" in order to create a more harmonious bond between the two areas.
The following Bridge number connects your Heart's Desire and Personality numbers. It suggests things you can do to help your deeper self to align more closely with your personality; the "outer" you that is apparent to others.
With a little exaggeration, you could say that your Personality number is somewhat like your mask; it's a more superficial aspect you reveal to the world. You can imagine how much more comfortable and less inhibited the experience of life becomes when you can align your authentic self with the personality you show to the world.
Your Heart's Desire - Personality Bridge number is 3
Loosen up a bit. Have some fun; recharge your batteries. Be more generous to yourself. Communicate your deeper feelings without fear to those close to you. Be more creative, particularly in the areas of dancing, writing, acting, or poetry. Develop faith in yourself.
PART II: THE PATH YOU ARE ON
If there was ever a moment of transformation, it was the moment of your birth. In that instant, you stepped into a new reality - the reality of human life and human consciousness. Even at that moment you were a person with your own unique character, as unique as your DNA. The previous chapters focused on YOU, the person you are, as revealed in the letters of your name. It is now time to look at your Path, the road you walk through life, using the numbers found in your date of birth.
Your first breath marked the beginning of your journey on the road we call your Life Path. It makes sense, then, that the most important number in your numerology chart comes from the date of your birth. Your Life Path number gives a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons you encounter throughout your life. It also reveals the strengths, specific talents, and characteristics you were given to help you overcome challenges and evolve into the best you can be.
THE LIFE PATH
Your Life Path number is considered the single most significant information available in your Personality Chart. It is derived from the total of all numbers found in your date of birth. However, it is important to keep in mind that the aspects described in the next few chapters will either complement, supplement, or sometimes weaken the attributes revealed in numbers derived from your name.
Your Life Path number is 16/7
You are the searcher and the seeker of the truth. You have a clear and compelling sense of yourself as a spiritual being. As a result, your life path is devoted to investigations into the unknown and finding the answers to the mysteries of life. You are well-equipped to handle your task. You possess a fine mind; you are an analytical thinker, capable of great concentration and theoretical insight. You enjoy research and putting the pieces of an intellectual puzzle together. Once you have enough pieces in place, you are capable of highly creative insight and practical solutions to problems.
You enjoy your solitude and prefer to work alone. You need time to contemplate your ideas without the intrusion of other people's thoughts. You are a lone wolf, a person who lives by his own ideas and methods. As a result, close associations are difficult for you to form and keep, especially marriage. You need your space and privacy, which, when violated, can cause you great frustration and irritation.
When your life is balanced, however, you are both charming and attractive. You can be the life of a party and enjoy performing before an audience. You enjoy displaying your wit and knowledge, which makes you attractive to others, especially the opposite sex.
But you have distinct limits. While you are generous in social situations, sharing your attention and energy freely, you are keenly aware of the need to "come off stage" and return to the solitude of your lair. You associate peace with the unobtrusive privacy of your world. Therefore, intimacy is difficult for you, because you guard your inner world like a mother lion does her cubs.
All this privacy and aloneness can cause isolation and loneliness, however. You can be aware of emptiness in your life, a part of you that yearns for company and close companionship that may be unsatisfied. If isolation is brought to the extreme, you can become cynical and suspicious. You can develop hidden, selfish motives, which people may sense and may cause them discomfort around you. You must guard against becoming too withdrawn and independent, thus shutting out the love of others and keeping you from experiencing the true joy of friendship and close companionship.
You must especially watch out for selfishness and egocentricity, thinking of yourself as the center of the universe, the only person who really matters. Social contact gives perspective on yourself and on life, while too much isolation can make you too narrow and even shut off from the rest of the world.
Secretly, you may feel jealous of the easy relationships formed by others; you may perceive others as less inhibited than you, or freer to express themselves. You may harshly criticize yourself for not being more gregarious, powerful, or capable of greater leadership.
Your challenge in life is to maintain your independence without feeling isolated or ineffectual. You must hold fast to your unique view on the world, while at the same time being open to others and the knowledge they have to offer. With your abilities to learn, analyze, seek out answers to life's important questions, you have the potential for enormous growth and success in life. By the time you reach middle age, you will radiate refinement and wisdom. Pythagoras loved the seven for its great spiritual potential.
Your 16 Life Path also reflects the presence of a Karmic Debt. (The 13,14, 16. and 19 are Karmic Debt numbers.) The 16 Karmic Debt means destruction of the old and birth of the new. The 16 is about the fall of the ego, and all that it has built for itself. It is a watershed, a cleansing. All that has been constructed, and all that serves to separate the person from the source of life is destroyed.
Through the 16, reunion with the Great Spirit is accomplished. This can be a painful process, because it usually comes after much ego inflation. This results in a struggle between the ego and the divine will. Life presents challenges to your grand plans, which can be resented and struggled against. It is a lost battle, and you will likely feel humbled in the face of the collapse that follows.
This humility is the key to later success, however, because you will learn to follow the intimations of a higher reality. In the destruction of the old, a spiritual rebirth takes place with an entirely new awareness. This rebirth affects every area of your life. It is a life much the better for the fall.
Those with the 16 Karmic Debt must be careful of egotism. Very often, those with the 16 use their highly intuitive and refined intellect to look down upon others and view the rest of the world as inferior. This causes acute alienation and loneliness. In addition, it invites retribution, for the egotist is humbled more harshly than any other. When the 16 is in one of the core numbers, this process of destruction and rebirth is a continual cycle that actually serves to bring you into higher consciousness and closer union with the source of life.
The 16 Karmic Debt can be a path of progress and great spiritual growth if it is looked at properly. One develops great faith by placing one's life in the hands of God. Through such faith, gratitude and peace are firmly established.
THE BIRTH DAY NUMBER
The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and where your talents lie. Your day of birth indicates special talents you possess. It gives us an indication of the approach you will take toward the goals, opportunities and obstacles you encounter on your Life's Path.
Your Birth Day number is 15/6
You are family-oriented and have a talent for settling disputes between people to the satisfaction of both sides. You somehow know the middle ground. Your lesson in life is to work with the whole subject of balance. You must come to truly understand the ancient and fundamental principle of opposites that seek harmony. Whether the realm is the emotions, caring for others, finances, work, or play, you must learn where you can be of service, exactly what you can do, and what are your limits.
You have a considerable amount of artistic talent. You have a deep appreciation of beauty and art.
You are highly responsible and will do without in order to fulfill a debt.
Your focus is on relationships. You want to help others and have a talent as a healer and could make a profession of the healing arts, either as a nutritionist, alternative health therapist (acupuncture, massage, for example) or doctor.
You need to know you are appreciated. You are given to flattery and vulnerable to praise. Criticism, on the other hand, leaves a very damaging impression on you. You take it deeply to heart.
You will sacrifice your own comfort to support and help others. You are generous, kind, and understanding.
You can be highly emotional and given to extremes in sympathy and sentimentality. You must learn to provide more than merely a shoulder to cry on. Study and the development of your healing skills bring you great rewards in life.
THE LIFE PATH - BIRTH DAY BRIDGE
Your Life Path and Birthday numbers are closely connected and influence each other. This Bridge explains how you can make the connection between them more harmonious.
Your Life Path - Birthday Bridge number is 1
Your Life Path and Birth Day Bridge is 1, which combines individualism and personal power. Strive to recognize your moments of inhibition and question their source. Work on becoming franker and more direct. This has less to do with fear or insecurity than with trusting yourself and your instincts.
Consider the way most children lack inhibition or hesitation when responding to others. They are often painfully honest, but entirely without malice. Find a balance between refreshing directness and unnecessarily hurting another's feelings. Personal power is not the result of gaining authority, admiration or superiority - it comes from knowing who you are.
CHALLENGES; YOUR FIRST CHALLENGE
You face four specific Challenges in your lifetime. For many of us, the same challenge is repeated, while others have four distinctly different lessons to learn.
These Challenges place you in situations that require you to face the particular lesson at hand. This provides an opportunity for you to learn or better integrate personal traits that will benefit you during the lesson, and throughout your life.
The four Challenges in your chart will influence you during the periods of your life listed below.
The duration of your First Challenge usually lasts from birth until age 30 to 35.
Your First Challenge is 1
You must learn to be independent. You will be forced to stand up for yourself and your rights. You will be faced with situations in which you will have to choose between standing up for what you think is right versus giving in to another person's demands. You will have to struggle to strengthen and know your own will power. You will have to learn to be firm and trust your judgment. Don't run with the crowd, be an individual.
This whole lesson represents the frontiers of your consciousness. Therefore, you will have to experience much trial and error, sometimes exploding with bursts of aggression, other times being intimidated and letting frustration and anger build within you until you are ready to act on your deepest instincts. You will learn your own set of values; you will develop into an individual with original and innovative ideas.
THE SECOND CHALLENGE
Your Second Challenge is in place from approximately age 30 through 55.
Your Second Challenge is 1
Jane you are repeating your First Challenge
THE THIRD AND MAIN CHALLENGE
This Challenge carries much weight and will be felt throughout your life. For that reason, it is also called the Main Challenge.
As you master this challenge and incorporate its positive aspects into your character, your life gradually feels more in control. There is a chance for great reward implicit in this challenge. In short, it may offer the secret to your success.
Your Third and Main Challenge is 0
This is a less demanding challenge. Growth is allowed to take place without one particularly serious obstacle. This does not mean that there will not be challenges on your path, but there is no single and consistent challenge during this period. However, you are being challenged to stay faithful and focused on your highest ideals.
There is an opportunity to go deeper within yourself, and discover the inner being that is you.
THE FOURTH CHALLENGE
Your Fourth Challenge is most strongly felt during the latter part of your life, beginning at approximately age of 60.
Your Fourth Challenge is 0
Jane you are repeating your Third Challenge
PART III: YOUR PATH AND YOU
We have focused on the letters of your name and the numbers from your date of birth. We will now look at numbers in your chart derived from the combination of both your name and the date of your birth. Acquiring the attributes described in the next few chapters will help smooth your progress. As you learn more about yourself, you may begin to recognize traits you were previously unaware of.
THE LIFE PATH - EXPRESSION BRIDGE NUMBER
This Bridge has the potential to "close the gap" between the Life Path and the Expression numbers. The chapter explains how you can make your talents, strengths, and specific abilities (your Expression number) more readily available and fitting to your goals and personal growth.
Your Life Path - Expression Bridge number is 2
Your 2 Bridge number brings relationships to the foreground. It points to a need for clarity and confidence, while remaining sensitive and intuitive. Your Life Path and Expression suggest a fear of creating disharmony when you are pursuing your goals and desires. This is usually unwarranted, but there is a point that relates directly to these concerns.
A 2 in this position suggests you need to work on becoming a better listener. If you practice the art of listening, your friends and partners will feel acknowledged, and you will become clearer and more confident when expressing yourself.
MATURITY NUMBER
Your Maturity number indicates an underlying wish or desire that gradually surfaces at around age 30 to 35. A direction begins to emerge as you gain a better understanding of yourself. With this self-knowledge comes a greater awareness of who you are, and the direction you want to set for your life.
Your Maturity number is 16/7
As you mature, you will become increasingly occupied with the larger questions of life, reading, contemplating and searching for a deeper understanding of who you are and what this life is all about. You may turn to philosophy or religion, but will likely examine a wide array of areas, broadening your knowledge in many disciplines.
Your intuition grows stronger, as does your ability to look beneath the surface of every subject you study. You are able to analyze abstract questions and live according to your higher ideals. You may find yourself needing more time alone; your need for privacy will likely increase.
If you already have several sevens in your chart, you will have to guard against becoming withdrawn, and alienated. If you have no sevens, you will now have the ability to deepen your understanding of one particular field. You will have the opportunity to become grounded in a particular area of study.
PERIOD CYCLES; YOUR FIRST PERIOD CYCLE
Like most stories, there are three distinct stages of your life. Your First, Second, and Third Period Cycles come from your month, day, and year of birth respectively. Together they form the foundation of your Life's Path.
The First Cycle begins in childhood and lasts through your late 20's. It's a quest for knowledge and identity while you cope with the powerful forces that are present in your environment. These forces include your parents and the socio-economic conditions of your family, for example.
The Second Cycle covers the middle period of your life, bringing about the slow emergence of your individual and creative talents. This cycle begins in the early and mid-30's while struggling to find your place in the world. The late 30's, 40's, and 50's, bring a greater degree of self-mastery and influence over your environment.
The Third Cycle starts approximately age 55, and represents a flowering of your inner self as your true nature comes to fruition. It is during this period that you have the greatest degree of power and self-expression.
Your First Period Cycle runs from birth until your mid 30's.
Your First Period Cycle is 5 and lasts until age 29
This is a chaotic time full of unexpected events and changes. Entering life with a 5 first Period Cycle often means a less-than-stable family and/or school environment. This can give rise to an obstinate, rebellious streak. From an early age you may have trouble keeping reality and fantasy separate. As a child and young adult, you may be perceived as "different." You are drawn to social interaction, but there may be times you feel you do not fit in well.
You are adventurous and more than once attempt a feat that is clearly dangerous. You are easily bored, and perhaps find refuge in some form of overindulgence. It may take you longer than most to find stability and a goal.
SECOND PERIOD CYCLE
Your Second Period Cycle runs from your mid 30's until your late 50's.
Your Second Period Cycle is 6
Your middle years are a time of responsibility and duty. The issues of commitment, marriage, and family come into sharp focus. If you honor your commitments with acceptance and love, this can be a period of harmony and support. You are needed by others; you are loved and appreciated. Reinforced by the loving, family-oriented 6, this is the best cycle for marriage and commitment.
In the same way, partnerships go well, and progress is made through joint effort. Conversely, commitments that are broken or not deeply made tend to end in separation or divorce more often during this period than others.
Artistic talents you possess may surface or heighten, and opportunities for self-expression present themselves. A commercial opportunity is supported, possibly your own business. This is a time of progress through flexibility, cooperation, and compromise.
THIRD PERIOD CYCLE
Your Third Period Cycle covers the later part of your life, starting in your early 60's.
Your Third Period Cycle is 5
The latter period of your life finds you continuing to move through changing circumstances. There is an inherent restlessness associated with a 5 Period Cycle - one of the few cycles that encourages a more impulsive response to situations you encounter.
You are drawn to travel, new people, and different cultures. This is a dynamic, somewhat chaotic cycle, where not much happens according to plan. You do best when you are social, physically active, and involved - giving your heart and mind the experiences they crave.
During this period, you have a flair for successfully promoting yourself. You are drawn to all that is progressive and farsighted. This is a time to be quick and flexible, and to grasp opportunities as they come.
PINNACLE CYCLES; YOUR FIRST PINNACLE CYCLE
Although Pinnacle Cycles and Period Cycles are both derived from your date of birth, they differ in the way you experience them. Period Cycles, described above, reflect internal stages of growth. Pinnacle Cycles represent the external influences you encounter in life.
Pinnacles reveal general conditions and events you experience during each period, such as your environment, social conditions, relationships, and changing circumstances. Pinnacles reveal how you might respond to these influences and how they will affect your ever-evolving personality.
The transition from one Pinnacle to the next is usually strongly felt. You begin to feel the transition from one Pinnacle to the next approximately two years in advance. The latter part of that two-year period can be particularly strong. You will likely make life-altering decisions, such as marriage, a job or career change, or major changes in your personal makeup.
Knowing and understanding your approaching Pinnacle number prepares you for the changes ahead. Perhaps the most strongly felt change is the transition from First to Second Pinnacle, which usually takes place in your late 20's or early 30's (the exact date depends on your Life Path number). This is usually a difficult transition but once crossed, provides a clear sense of direction and a firmer sense of identity.
Your First Pinnacle cycle is 11 and runs from birth until approximately age 29
This is a challenging period in which you are at a high point of sensitivity and intuition. There is so much going on in your psyche that you can suffer much confusion over direction and identity. On the other hand, there is a wide-open channel between the personal consciousness and the higher realms of the unconscious. You are constantly being inspired and even assaulted by information and insight. Because of the intensity of these revelations, you must learn to ground your life in faith and a practical vocation that keeps your feet on the ground every day.
This is a period of enormous spiritual and personal growth. You will come out of it with a highly uncommon clarity and understanding of life. At the same time, it is a period of enormous demands, emotionally and spiritually. Any attachment you might have to specific identity traits -- who you think you are and why you are here, for example -- is constantly challenged. There is a desire to settle into some field or way of life to attain stability, but the energy of this Pinnacle is not allowing it. It is as if there is a destination, or destiny, to which you are being driven. You do not feel in control of this process. Instead, you are acutely aware of the forces that are shaping your life. You must surrender to them.
Meanwhile, you experience the emotional turmoil that can come with this highly charged period. There is a definite, even compelling, sense of being different. You are aware of a feeling of receiving special attention from spiritual forces. Your perception of life is somehow more acute than others; you see more clearly and more spiritually due to your high degree of sensitivity. It is as if you have a perfectly accurate peripheral vision, in which everything stands out in sharp relief. At times you may feel that you can see into the souls of things. At the same time, you may feel like a foreigner to the earth. You are completely impractical. Sometimes you may feel that you do not understand the workings of the physical world. Practical things escape you. You feel awkward and clumsy at times and are aware perhaps how fluidly other lives are going. This increases your sense of being an outsider.
More important than all the awkwardness and feelings of being different is the overwhelming sense of having a purpose or a message to reveal that will make other people's lives happier, healthier, and more at peace. You want desperately to bring this out.
The challenge of the 11 Pinnacle is to remain grounded and attached to this dream. You must find practical and useful ways to be of service to others, at the same time developing yourself so that one day you may be able to bring forth that which is within you.
The influences of this period make you highly creative, innovative, and inventive. You have a completely unconventional approach to problems. Trust your intuition, seek harmonious settings to restore your sense of inner peace, and work hard to keep your feet on the ground. This period will bring great rewards on all levels, and with perseverance you will find your rightful place.
THE SECOND PINNACLE CYCLE
Your Second Pinnacle Cycle lasts nine years and tends to have a considerable influence on your productive/professional life.
Your Second Pinnacle cycle is 11 and runs from age 29 until age 38
Jane you are repeating your First Pinnacle Cycle
THE THIRD PINNACLE CYCLE
Your Third Pinnacle Cycle also lasts nine years. Like your Second Pinnacle, its effect is felt primarily in your career or business environment.
Your Third Pinnacle cycle is 22 and runs from age 38 until age 47
This is a demanding time in which all your personal power comes to the surface and is made available to you. At the same time, you face an enormous challenge in which all that power is needed. This challenges are both physical and spiritual. The physical side is obvious in some large enterprise or dream that you are struggling to make manifest. The spiritual side is more hidden, but just as important, in that one must deliver the full wealth of his spiritual understanding and vision to create something great and lasting for the general wellbeing of society.
Your mental powers are greatly enhanced. At the same time, your determination and efficiency are proportionately increased, making you the master builder. The 22 is a Master Number, which means that you must perceive something large in the archetypal world and materialize it. Everything you focus on is large -- your plans are big and cover long periods of time; you envision making an enormous and lasting impact on the world.
At the same time, your problems and challenges are equally large. You will have to devote yourself entirely to this dream. Without a full commitment to your largest ambitions, you will slip into frustrations and the world of broken dreams. This is why the 22 Pinnacle is so demanding -- nothing less than everything you've got is necessary to bring forth your full potential, and the gift you must give to the world. This is a Pinnacle of extremes.
You are not alone, however, in your struggle. There is much spiritual and material support to help you realize your plans. People are attracted to you who intuitively understand your larger purpose. You gain a close following of friends and supporters who feel enriched by participating in the dream you have articulated.
Courage is essential. You need confidence and faith to help you endure the challenges of the period and help you overcome the many obstacles in your path. You are eminently practical during this period. Your approach to problems is methodical but bold. You are careful of details, yet courageous in your attack on the problems at hand. It is a period in which you must dive in, never hesitating over the possible consequences. Your personal life will likely take a back seat to the excitement of the dream.
This is a Pinnacle of enormous potential requiring much effort. Your day has arrived. Now you must make the most of it.
THE FOURTH PINNACLE CYCLE
Your Fourth Pinnacle Cycle lasts for the rest of your life.
Your Fourth Pinnacle cycle is 1 and runs from age 47 until age death.
This is a period requiring much independence, courage, resiliency, and initiative. You must bounce back after many difficult experiences. The challenge of this Pinnacle is to gain will power. There is not a lot of support from others or from family. You must draw from your own strength. You will have to guard against self-pity or surrender. Keep focused on your dreams. This Pinnacle will require an iron will to keep hold of your goals, and also the flexibility to maneuver around difficulties, and bend with the winds of adversity.
This is a period of rapid self-improvement and growth. You will be forced to use every talent and capability you possess. You will need to be resourceful. You must continually put out effort, but with it comes great reward. Without it, there is no accomplishment nor satisfaction, only a negative attitude toward life. Be careful not to become too self-centered, headstrong or self-important. Be strong but flexible. Be open to the counsel of others but make up your own mind.
The benefit of this Pinnacle number is a strong sense of your individuality and strength. You will know what you are made of. There are many hidden gifts in this period, perhaps the greatest of which is faith. Your Pinnacle provides you with the characteristics of leadership, boldness, and daring. You will have many unconventional ideas and the skill and courage to make them a reality. Your abilities to manage and organize people and institutions are greatly enhanced. You have vision and confidence in the worth of your dreams.
These characteristics provide great opportunity for success and major accomplishments.
PART IV: Specifics About You
Although the following chapters deal with less dominant aspects of your chart, they are more narrowly defined and specific in the ways they affect you.
THE RATIONAL THOUGHT NUMBER
Your Rational Thought number comes from combining the sum of your birthday number with the sum of your first name. It reveals the style or process you use when making choices or considering a problem. Are you a structured, logical thinker or do you ponder a question in a creative, abstract manner? Do you daydream or stick to deductive reasoning?
Your Rational Thought number suggests the general approach you take in your thought process.
Your Rational Thought number is 9
You are always aware of the expectations of others, and you hold off on expressing your opinion until everyone has had their say; then you point to the mistakes and the things that were overlooked. Your success in solving problems and in finding answers is the result of a process of elimination, more than it is a matter of stringing together logical answers.
THE BALANCE NUMBER
Your Balance number provides guidance on how to best deal with difficult situations.
People experience a variety of internal responses to life's challenges. Some step back from difficult situations to ponder a course of action while others withdraw to avoid uncomfortable emotions. Some explode with anger but allow the outburst to pass quickly while others let their feelings linger.
Very often, these are conditioned responses that emerge without thought or analysis. With maturity and self-development, we incorporate new and more effective methods of handling situations we encounter.
Your Balance number is 2
Use tact and diplomacy. Be less emotional. Be courageous in your approach to the solution you seek, rather than backing away from problem because you fear confrontation. Work hard to diffuse tension; your innate talent is to find a mutually satisfying solution to all. You are willing to compromise.
Be more optimistic and lighthearted. Jane, try not to blow problems out of proportion. You are overly sensitive and have to work to be more balanced.
Balance and harmony are there for you the minute you apply yourself to any problem. You can be the peacemaker.
THE HIDDEN PASSION
Your Hidden Passion reveals specific strengths or talents that are available to you, such as a specific field of expertise or (as the name implies) a passion. Metaphorically, this talent or passion may be seen as having a power all its own to help shape your life.
Having a talent demands that you nurture and express it. Your Hidden Passion gives you the desire to develop and express your particular ability. In this way, it shapes your personality and guides your life.
Your Hidden Passion number is 1
You have a strong drive to stand out. You have a great ambition and desire to accomplish. You are highly competitive and want to be the best and the first in everything you do. You are highly energetic and creative. You are capable of influencing and even dominating others. You have highly developed political skills and can succumb to manipulation unless your ideals are high. Ironically, there are times when you lack confidence, especially at an earlier age, but you have the strength to overcome this obstacle.
You are a survivor, a warrior, a leader. Many great athletes and politicians have this number as a Hidden Passion.
KARMIC LESSONS
Karmic lessons are recognized by the absence of certain letters in your name and describe areas we are weak in that require recognition and effort to overcome.
The letters in your name point to talents and abilities that you possess; tools that are available to you. Missing letters imply tools that are unavailable, they must be learned and mastered during your lifetime.
You can have more than one Karmic Lesson or, if every number is represented your name, you don't have any.
Although you may feel you have learned to overcome one or more of your Karmic Lessons, you will continue to be challenged by them throughout your life.
Your Karmic Lesson is 3
You are highly self-critical. Every time you find yourself at the center of attention, you manage to find something in your performance to be entirely inadequate or embarrassing. You have established an impossible standard of perfection as the only measure of your actions.
You need to lighten up on yourself. Realize that you have within you a critical faculty that must be contained and controlled. Otherwise, it can prevent you from doing what you truly enjoy in life. You're too serious. Be more optimistic and cheerful, enjoy life as it was meant to be and share this joy with others.
Life will put you in situations that require imagination and communication. You will be tested in these areas. You will be forced to face the challenge.
Missing threes will often produce artists, but their success requires much work and perseverance.
The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 3 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or Personality Number).
Your Karmic Lesson is 6
You have a major issue with commitment and responsibility to others. You have a hard time committing to marriage and other important personal relationships. You have to learn to show true emotion. You may feel isolated and alone, but do not understand why. The reason is that very often you form relationships yet remain heavily guarded, putting up a show of emotion without truly communicating affection or care. This can make the bond between you and others superficial. You must learn to establish sincere relationships.
You will learn the importance of close friends and lasting relationships. You will learn to give and, when necessary, sacrifice. This is the one true way to true friendship and lasting love.
The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 6 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or Personality Number).
Your Karmic Lesson is 7
You need to deepen your knowledge and talents in a specific discipline. You lack the will or determination to perfect yourself or a specific talent you possess. You must learn to be your own critic, without self-condemnation, in order to bring your abilities to their full development. You will learn not to take things at face value. A superficial understanding of important matters will prevent you from experiencing the satisfaction of your true potential.
The effects of this Karmic Lesson are diminished if you have at least one 7 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression, or Personality Number).
THE CORNERSTONE
The first letter of your first name gives an additional indication of your character, particularly in the way you approach opportunities and obstacles. This first letter is called your Cornerstone.
Your Cornerstone is J
Your J is for Justice. You are honest, loyal, reliable, and sincere. You want to improve the lives of others. You may try too hard to please everyone. You have a clever mind and are incredibly talented. However, you must work at motivating yourself to make the most of your talents.
THE SUBCONSCIOUS SELF
Your Subconscious Self is based on how many numbers are represented in your name, and indicates your ability to make the most of your talents and opportunities, especially when you face new, challenging, or even dangerous circumstances.
Your Subconscious Self number is 6
You like to help others, sometimes to the extent that you do not pay enough attention to your own needs. You are primarily concerned with your home and your family. Everything else comes second. You radiate love and genuine concern for others.
During times of distress you turn to your family and friends. You are responsible and willing to sacrifice for others.
PLANES OF EXPRESSION; THE PHYSICAL PLANE
You experience life on four different levels: physical, mental, emotional, and intuitive. Your Planes of Expression indicate how you function on each of these planes.
Your physical plane links you to the material world.
Your mental plane, like the emotional and intuitive, perceives the invisible world; the realm of thought and reason.
Your emotional plane is preoccupied exclusively with feelings.
Your intuitive plane gives you access to the insight and knowledge that comes effortlessly as if placed at the doorstep of your mind.
In each category, the number of letters, and their numerical value, gives an indication of which Planes of Expression are stronger in you and which are weaker. Each of us is dominated by one or two of the first three planes. The physical and mental are the most widely used, although a name dominated by emotional letters is not uncommon. The intuitive plane is usually the least utilized. A name dominated by intuitive letters is extremely rare but having no intuitive letters in a name does occur. This does not mean a lack of intuition but points toward a tendency to ignore or distrust intuitive insights.
The Physical Plane represents the physical letters in your name.
Your Physical Plane of Expression is 9
You have a strong presence. You are charismatic and have a dramatic flair in your personality, which may direct you to the theater.
You are also drawn to politics, publishing, promotion, and public service -- any career that requires a certain amount of time before the public. You are attracted to doing things on a large scale.
You are a humanitarian. You are concerned about the wellbeing of society. You have a great deal of compassion, tolerance and generosity. You are highly idealistic and a bit of a dreamer. You are not particularly practical, however. Very often, you are not understood by others, and sometimes considered indifferent and aloof.
In some way, you want to please everyone and tend to give promises that may be impossible to keep.
If you develop your abilities, you have a significant chance to become famous.
THE MENTAL PLANE
The Mental Plane is based on the mental letters in your name.
Your Mental Plane of Expression is 15/6
Jane, you have the mind of a poet, writer, or actor. You see life in artistic terms. Teaching and healing come natural to you. You carry much responsibility and are very dependable. You fulfill your obligations. Your appreciation of beauty and art is visible in your surroundings.
Your prospects for success in business are excellent, due to your practical and responsible behavior.
THE EMOTIONAL PLANE
It is not uncommon for a person to have a name dominated by emotional letters.
Your Emotional Plane of Expression is 12/3
You are very romantic. You are highly creative and imaginative. You fantasize about your perfect "other": a White Knight on a horse, or a beautiful princess. Your response to painful emotional situations -- especially in childhood -- was to create a fantasy world to which you escaped. You may still be doing that as an adult, perhaps to your detriment. Reality lacks the romance and excitement of your fantasies.
You can be disorderly and disorganized, however. You can be rather moody. You likely have much artistic talent, especially in writing, acting, or singing.
THE INTUITIVE PLANE
A name dominated by Intuitive letters is extremely rare. It is, however, not at all uncommon not to have any intuitive letters.
Your Intuitive Plane of Expression is 0
You don't have any letters on the Intuitive Plane.
It is not uncommon to have no Intuitive letters in your name. This doesn"™t mean you are not intuitive but that you have a more difficult time to access your intuition. The letters in your name are less representative of your strengths and talents, than of your ability to access and use them.
PART V: HOW YOUR CURRENT NAME AFFECTS YOU
The influence of the short name (the name you use to introduce yourself, including your last name) is minor in comparison to your full name. Interestingly, the short name often compensates in some way for numbers, and their related characteristics, that are missing or out of balance in the full name.
THE MINOR EXPRESSION
Your current name forms the basis of your Minor Expression number. It is usually the first and last name you commonly use to introduce yourself (not necessarily the name you received at birth).
The influence of your short name is minor in comparison to your full name. Interestingly, the short name often compensates in some way for letters or numbers missing in the full name.
The name you currently use, also affects how you feel about yourself.
If a name change takes place later in life for marital or for professional reasons, it adds or subtracts certain qualities. It can also focus and intensify existing characteristics or latent talents.
Your Minor Expression is 9
The influence of this number makes you more concerned with the well-being of others. Your Minor Expression number increases your sensitivity to the needs of society. You feel an urge to serve humanity in a more direct way.
The number 9 helps you to better communicate and understand all types of people.
You are more aware of your artistic talent and the need to express yourself. Your name opens you up to a larger view of life. It attunes you to political movements, philosophical theories, and spiritual practices. You are more sensitive to the larger patterns of humanity.
THE MINOR HEART'S DESIRE
The vowels of the name you currently use to introduce yourself are the basis of your Minor Heart's Desire number.
Your Minor Heart's Desire is 15/6
Your short name increases your capacity to radiate warmth, solicitude, and kindness. You are more patient with others and a far better listener. Your willingness to carry the burden of others is increased.
Your Minor Heart's Desire increases your creativity and your domestic instincts. Women feel better at home; men feel more comfortable in the roles of husband, father, and provider. Your sense of harmony and social consciousness are enhanced. You are better able to settle disputes.
Six is the most balanced of all numbers, in harmony with all other numbers. Very few people with 6s in prominent places stray very far from their true natures.
THE MINOR PERSONALITY
Your Minor Personality is based on the consonants of your current name and reflects, at least to some extent, how you think, or hope, others might perceive you.
Your Minor Personality is 12/3
Many men with a 3 Personality are usually handsome; women often strikingly beautiful. Your vibration is full of life. You are uplifting, inspiring, and charming.
Do not let your charm be an incentive to play too much. Work at developing deep and lasting relationships. You must avoid scattering your attention for popularity. You can be flippant about commitments and may dramatize or exaggerate. Your wit can cause you to rely too much on superficial, humorous conversation.
